RE: Multiicast Troubleshooting

It shouldn't do, provided that the DR has connectivity to the RP to send
either the Join/Prune messages in the case of the receiver's DR, or Register
messages in the case of the source's DR and that the other PIM router's on
the segment can form PIM adjacencies to the DR (which is best ensured by
having the DR on the hub router).

 

Like I said, the "sh ip mroute" command is your friend on this. Check the RP
to see if it has the (*,G) to show that the Join message has been recieved
from the receiver's DR. Check the RP for the (S,G) to see if the source DR
has registered the packet. Then check your RPF paths from source to
destination.

If you aren't receiving a reply then go from router to router in your
network doing a "show ip mroute". Check that the incoming interface shown
for the (S,G) entry matches the path that the multicast packet should take
based on the outgoing interface for the same (S,G) entry on the router
closer to the source.

Presuming you've setup PIM correctly and each router knows the RP for that
group, chances are your issues will be a result of an RPF check failure (or
a missing IPv4 route).
